Amitav Krishna

I am a Grade 11 student at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Simcoe, Ontario.

My research focuses on applied machine learning for the physical sciences. I presented my work on machine learning for quantum state denoising at IEEE qCCL 2026 (preprint). Right now I am researching atomic simulations of light-activated water splitting with the Material and Process Simulation Center at Caltech.

I do software work for Fundomo.

I was mentored by The Knowledge Society (TKS) from September 2024 - June 2026, which was wonderful! I was previously a software engineer at 8090 Solutions. I’m lucky to have received an Emergent Ventures grant from the Mercatus Center and a compute grant from Luke Piette at RunPod.
